Shot List
Peak Pressure at Joint With No Support (Worst
Case)
4.5kG
Peak Pressure at Joint Based on Analysis (Best
Case)
5
Voltage Probes

• Same as last run except 8 channels have AB
  monitoring
• Allows monitoring of out-of-plane loading
• Web page developed to archive probe vs. channel
  assignments (instead of reliance on notebook
  records)

6
Fiber Optic Temperature, Strain, and Displacement

• Flags (inner, outer/top, bottom)
• 4 flags x 3 strain/flag 12 strain
• 4 flags x 1 temp/flag 4 temp
• Hub and Flag twist angle (top, bottom)
• 2 displacement
• Flag end ?Z ?? motion (top, bottom)
• 4 displacement
• Hub (top only)
• 1 displacement

Fiber Optic Displacement Mounting

• Monitor Flag End Motion Same As Last Time

9
Fiber Optic Displacement Mounting

• Relocate Hub/Spline Twist on to Hub

Top Hub Plate Connections
10
Fiber Optic Displacement Mounting

• Modify for ?Z ?? motion on a single flag
• Extend over new insulating boots

Benchmarking Measurements
Info to be extracted from analysis

• In addition, IP and OOP moments will be
  backed-out from voltage probe data for
  one-PF-at-a-time shots to benchmark against
  influence matrix generated from NASTRAN

Procedure

• Initial phase will commission up to 4.5kG
• Test shots will be conducted and data compared
  to predictions after each shot
• Performance of system vs. predictions will be
  judged
• Modeling coefficients and protection limits will
  be iterated including additional NASTRAN runs as
  necessary
• Operating envelope will be adjusted accordingly
• Later phase of commissioning toward 6kG will be
  performed at future date pending results at 4.5kG
  and when needed for NSTX research program
